Kind of pretty even though it's not burl

For straight grain Desert Ironwood, I thought these were pretty good looking.
I will be adding them to the store on 3/7. Scales only, no blocks.
I found some nice Ironwood that was poorly cut but still very good wood.
So I spent the day today getting them sanded flat and even. Just about ready to go into the store tomorrow.

They are just under 3/8" thick. I think the guy who had cut them originally used a dull shovel.
Good contrast and color changes when you move them around in direct light.
The middle right set looks a tad bit darker in RL.
The others in the last photo look pretty true to color on my monitor.
